About this sunscreen
Eladerm Crema Cu Protectie Solara Ridicata SPF 50+ is a chemical sunscreen using an older-generation mix of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone). It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, and has a low pore-clogging profile, though it carries a medium chance of stinging, so caution around the eyes is sensible. With moderate protection and a score of 65.3/100, it is a serviceable daily SPF rather than a standout.
